  • Measuring device for ignition voltages
    Patent number: 6969995
    Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device with a sensor (4) for monitoring the ignition voltage of an associated cylinder of an internal combustion engine, said sensor (4) being arranged along the ignition conductor (12), between the spark plug and the ignition coil. The sensor (4) is a bar-shaped probe which is arranged parallel to the axis of the ignition conductor (12), at a flashover-proof distance. The invention further relates to a measuring arrangement comprising such measuring devices.
